rigo and flash fullscreen [Solved]

[aezio]

Hi guys,

first of all compliments, I've installed this great distro a couple of weeks ago and it is almost perfect for me.
I've 2 small problems, (tell me if I have to split this post in two separate ones).

The first problem is that after last update I'm not able to launch rigo, this is the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/GLib.py", line 629, in <lambda>
return (lambda data: callback(*data), user_data)
File "/usr/bin/rigo", line 914, in _permissions_setup
self._work_view_c.setup()
File "/usr/lib/rigo/rigo/ui/gtk3/controllers/work.py", line 195, in setup
box = self._setup_terminal_area()
File "/usr/lib/rigo/rigo/ui/gtk3/controllers/work.py", line 101, in _setup_terminal_area
self._terminal.reset()
File "/usr/lib/rigo/rigo/ui/gtk3/widgets/terminal.py", line 186, in reset
self._configure()
File "/usr/lib/rigo/rigo/ui/gtk3/widgets/terminal.py", line 177, in _configure
self.set_background_transparent(False)
AttributeError: 'TerminalWidget' object has no attribute 'set_background_transparent'

2. I've a problem with flash and the fullscreen mode, sometimes the portion of the screen corresponding to the player becomes black.
Info:
nvidia GTS250 with proprietary driver 319.49
the problem is the same with firefox and chromium
flash version 11.2.202.310-r1

Thank you!

I don't know about the rigo question.
From a root terminal, what is the result of:
eselect opengl list
Because you have nvidia video card, it should look like this:
[1] ati
[2] nvidia *
[3] xorg-x11

If the asterisk is beside xorg-x11, you should set it to nvidia.
From a root terminal, type and enter:
eselect opengl set nvidia

I have also performed the most recent Sabyon-Weekly update, and have observed subsequent failure-to-start of Rigo. The following is echoed to stdout/stderr when I execute "/usr/bin/rigo" as a user:

Code: Select all

Since I use Rigo to perform weekly-updates, I hope there is a fix before the next weekly release.

Thank you in advance.

Hi dave_64, thank you for your help.
The problem is the same with proprietary or open drivers, I've checked

Another strange thing is that the first time the fullscreen mode works, if I came back to the normal mode and after again to the fullscreen mode I get the error. If I restart firefox (or chromium, doesn't matter) the issue is exactly the same, the first time it works, from the second not.

Youtube is not affected by this problem.

@VolvoBirkenstock
Ok, I can wait, no problem

Rigo in version 216 is broken, v. 217 in limbo repo works. Just wait for it to be rolled with updates. Until that use equo.

For second problem I'm afraid that I can't help with adobe-flash (I simply don't have it). If problem doesn't exist on Youtube, but on other sites, then it could meant that those websites/content were created having in mind newer version of flash than this available on Linux, since Linux version of adobe-flash gets only security updates, without getting new features/improvements/whatever (all thanks to Adobe).

Yeah, fortunately Flash is not very used any more, apart for players.

Just a curiosity, how can you survive without flash today? I mean, for youtube you can use HTML5, but for the other players?

[Cb7]

So for total offtopic:
Reasons why I don't use adobe-flash:

• I don't like proprietary software, and as long as I'm not forced into using it, I use only open-source software.
• Adobe-flash is simply a security risk. Slowly, as time goes I tend to consider any closed-source software as security risk. Sometimes I just wonder whether it is really paranoid or just only a bit
• Political reasons™:

I decided a long time ago that I don't want to use, and by using support anyone/anything that uses closed source software or demands using closed source software to work correctly/at all.
I won't say that it's easy or that I like how things are, but somehow being somewhat a kind of hermit is refreshing.

I don't really use steaming sites (usually they require adobe-flash and besides, usually using them is just a waste of time), only in rare cases Youtube, and even then I prefer to use youtube-dl instead of watching it 'online' (data is being downloaded anyway so…). That's because of:

• Performance. Much better when video is played in vlc/mplayer. Trying to play in FHD HTML5 videos kills CPU, since GPU isn't really used to render it. I mean, it would work if you have 4 core processor working with fair clocks (It only would use computing power of ~2.5-3 cores available, that's totally acceptable (Hell no! ).)
• Working. Even if HTML5 is enabled in Youtube, really often it doesn't work. Just because there are ads that are needed to be displayed, and in HTML5 they don't work (yet).
• Ads. There simply is no ads when using youtube-dl.
• Audio. Have you ever heard some noises in video that you liked? Easy download, then extraction of audio with avconv in less than a second. How amazing is that?

For other websites there is cclive, and other things as well.

tl;dr:
I just live in a way that doesn't require adobe-flash.

BTW, if issues are solved (I think they are, or am I wrong?), mark topic as [Solved]

Cb7, you wrote:

Thanks for the information. I'm not very good with equo. What do I need to do if I want to download Revision 217 now? /etc/entropy/repositories.conf.d shows both entropy_sabayon-weekly and entropy_server as allowed. _entropy_sabayon-limbo is obviously disallowed given the leading underscore. (I read the README in that directory.)

I assume that if I do nothing until the next Sabayon-Weekly release, then once that release is performed, I should simply run "equo install rigo"? Or "equo install app-admin/rigo-217"? Or "equo upgrade"? And after that run rigo? (If I recall correctly, enabling entropy_sabayon-limbo while other repositories are enabled can lead to some really strange problems.)

Thank you yet again.

[Stupot]

Yes. "equo install rigo" should work, once it's there. Don't enable the limbo repository unless you plan on helping test out packages.

I fully agree

Adobe-flash is simply a security risk. Slowly, as time goes I tend to consider any closed-source software as security risk.

Well, of course you're right, flash is a high risk piece of crap. Some years ago there were a lot websites done completely in flash, but fortunately, now is almost disappeared apart for players.

For other websites there is cclive, and other things as well.

Interesting, thanks!

All, thank you very much, great distro, great support, simply great
